As andas reeled in Staten, Krause
got around Higgins and then ran into
larger problems than just a bad start. " I'
was going out on the second lap and
100 yards past the first turn my seat flew
off," Krause explained. "J had to stop
and fix it. I needed another half hour to
catch up to those guys."
Luckily for Krause an extra half hour
was not needed to,capture second place.
Staten surrendered the lead to Ondas on
the third lap and then got caught speeding in the pits, ending his ride in a disqualification. With second going to
Krause, KX500-pilot Tommy Roberts
was awarded third followed by Higgins
in fourth and Baehr, who once again
worked his way through the pack to finish fifth.
"It was really fun up there," Ondas
said about the course. "I passed Rex
(Staten) on the third lap, pulled away
and just J'ode my own race."
